What else can I help you with?
Is water a monosaccharide?
Salt is sodium chloride (NaCl) not a saccharide.
What is a single glucose called?
glucose is a sugar simple sugars like glucose are called monosaccharides mono = one saccharide = sugar
Is a monosaccharide or polysaccharide bigger?
"Mono" means one "Poly" means many For any given sugar (saccharide), a polysaccharide would be larger.
What kind of substance is chitin?
Chitin is a polysaccharide that is made up of many monosaccharides. In this case, the monosaccharide subunits are N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.
Is frucrose a polysaccharide?
Fructose, also known as fruit sugar, levulose, and laevulose, is a simple mono-saccharide which the body can use for energy. It is often found in combination with glucose as the disaccharide sucrose (table sugar), a readily transportable and mobilizable sugar that is stored in the cells of many plants, such as sugar beets and sugarcane. There is more information at the related link.
How do prefixes of the- saccharide words relate to the structure of the sugar?
Scientists also use the word saccharide to describe sugars. If there is only one sugar molecule, it is called a monosaccharide. If there are two, it is a disaccharide. If there are three, it is a trisaccharide. You get the idea.
How do the prefixes of the -saccharide words relate to the structure of the sugar?
Scientists also use the word saccharide to describe sugars. If there is only one sugar molecule, it is called a monosaccharide. If there are two, it is a disaccharide. If there are three, it is a trisaccharide. You get the idea.

What are the 2 suffixes that the scientific sugar names end with?
One of the suffixes is -saccharide as in monosaccharide which means one single sugar, and the other one is-ose
What is saccharide?
Saccharides are sugars * A monosaccharide (e.g. glucose, fructose) is the smallest possible sugar unit * A disaccharide is two monosaccharide molecules bonded together e.g. sucrose consists of one molecule of glucose and one of fructose * A polysaccharide is a chain of monosaccharides; the chain may be branched (e.g. glycogen) or unbranched (e.g. cellulose)
Does the human diet have many foods which are made up of only one saccharide type?
monosaccharide - glucose, fructose, disaccharides - maltose, lactose, sucrose polysaccherides - starch, cellulose.
What is a single glucose called?
glucose is a sugar simple sugars like glucose are called monosaccharides mono = one saccharide = sugar
What does starch end up as?
Starch is a polysaccharide ie. a very complex carbohydrate. Enzymes break it down into a di-saccharide - maltose. Another enzymes then converts this into the monosaccharide (simple sugar), glucose.
Is a monosaccharide or polysaccharide bigger?
"Mono" means one "Poly" means many For any given sugar (saccharide), a polysaccharide would be larger.
How many monosaccharide molecules are needed to construct a disaccharide?
It takes two mono-saccharides to form a di-saccharide; you should recognize that the prefix "di" means two.
